TransAlp XL700V soft luggage

[Wheelie G]

I'm looking for soft luggage for my TA 700 (2008). I've got Kaoko day bag on the back. I'm thinking of getting Kaoko's saddle bag as well...
Anyone fitted these on a TA?

Any other suggestions?

I have fitted something similar.. you will need to fit pannier brackets to accommodate soft luggage as once you fill them they tend to droop as they age., I used the SW Motech ones.. they are really sturdy and double up as crash bars and easy to remove if so desired. it does require you to move the rear indicators if I remember correctly but brackets are provided and its fairly simple to do.

how much are those as a matter of interest.. mine are about 6 years old now and getting very tired.

Ai. Was hoping I can get away without pannier brackets.
I see on their website is goes for R3250.

Dustriders contacted me as well. They've also got saddle bags etc.

You will usually NEED pannier racks, unless you go the self-supporting luggage route, meaning Giant-Loop type luggage (Big Bag Panniers, etc)

R3200 is a chunk of change.. that being said they look really nice, do you have any close up shots of it, maybe with one open?

I currently have the Kappa ones on my bike, I fitted them to my 650 and now the 700 and they have honestly lasted a really long time. So needless to say Im a Kappa fan.
